High Britannia, High! (Reprise)
Only bad things can happen when miserliness meets masochism… especially when they merge over a supermarket bargain bin, bulging with remaindered DVDs. For some reason I felt compelled to finish what I’d started back in May, by picking up the … Continue reading

Getting past it…
I was worried I’d set myself up for disappointment over the new series of Getting On by hyping myself into a tizzy… so it came as quite a relief to find that the show actually was worth all the build-up. … Continue reading

‘Getting On’ again…
I don’t quite understand why, but there seems to be a conspiracy of confusion surrounding the promotion of the new series of Getting On, which (in case you’re curious) starts this Tuesday (26th) on BBC4 @ 10pm. My TV listings … Continue reading

Sherlock-U-Like II: Sherlock N’ Roll
Having already voiced my disdain for the BBC’s “modern” (but weirdly regressive) reboot, I have to say I much prefer Guy Richie’s Sherlock Holmes (2009). For one thing, he retains the 19th Century setting, which means that all the sets … Continue reading

Dear Pumpkin King…
This Halloween I’d like a copy of The Blaft Anthology of Tamil Pulp Fiction Vol. II, edited by Rakesh Khanna, and translated by Pritham K Chakravarthy. The cover was drawn by Shyam Shankar, and is also available to purchase as … Continue reading
A Daisy by Any Other Name…
Normally I’d be loathe to recommend anything to do with The Mail on Sunday, since its parent paper is such a reprehensible right-wing rag… but the glossy mag that comes with it did have a great interview with Jessica Hynes … Continue reading

Affirmation in Acting
Although I have nothing but contempt for the character she portrays in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, I think Georgia Groome actually gives a great performance as her namesake. On the DVD commentary, she claims that they had to use … Continue reading

Lies, Schemes and Crocodile Tears
[This post contains whiny, brattish SPOILERS!] In my post about Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, I sneered at lesser teen movies that posit hooking up with a member of the opposite sex as the be-all and end-all of our existence… … Continue reading

Quasi-GothWatch: Tibby Rollins
Yes, I know that ‘Tibby’ (as portrayed by Amber Tamblyn) doesn’t actually identify herself as a “Goth” in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants movies… she’s more of a generic, PG-rated outsider/rebel character… but she does wear an awful lot … Continue reading
Dames in Denim
I tried on my oldest surviving pair of jeans today, and was saddened by how snugly they fit me. A few years ago, I needed a belt just to keep them up, and could slip them off without even undoing … Continue reading
